#citi

I'm so excited for this card! I "only" have to spend $4k in 3 months (I'm vvv responsible with my cards, I always pay them off or keep balance low because credit bureau doesn't want to see you with 0% all the time) and I get 75k airmiles

I currently have about 120k via AA and Kevin has another 100k via his business card but I hate being locked into AA and their partners (I've had my Citi Platinum card for 11 years and my Chase Sapphire for 2) so I am stoked about having the freedom to book via Capitol One's travel portal.

Even though there is a $395 yearly fee, all of the travel credits, yearly bonuses, etc that we will definitely use have it come out to $5/yr after the first year (which I only get charged $99 for the first year)

I also have access to the Capitol One airport lounge and that brings my anxiety down by a lot when it comes to international travel -- we can always have a place to chill with the kids if there's a delay or hours long waits between connections. I have never been in a lounge before so I'm excited AF!!
